Whole Egg Powder - Do not inhale

I realize that writing this is one of those “duh” articles, mainly because powdered eggs has been a staple of emergency preparation as well as trail-goers for several years.

I figured however, I may as well write about it!  So this will be a quick article.

To start off with, I titled this “Scrambled Eggs *”, to denote that it really can be made with anything. I am just doing a simple scramble with sausage crumbles, which is what I will focus the most of the preparation on.

With regular powdered eggs. Prep time is fast and simple.  I used Healthy Harvest’s whole egg powder for my eggs, and it calls for 2 Tbsp of egg powder mixed with 3 Tbsp of water to =  1 large egg.

It really is as simple as mixing and cooking.

I do, however have some observations once you start adding substance to it.
